Re: installing/updating rsync 2.6.7 on os x

[Banana Flex]

don't update rsync on a Mac OS X system
because you don't have the -E (--extended-attributes) with the  
release of rsync-2.6.7 from source
this is important, you don't have any chance to copy a meta data of a  
file if you use any other release of rsync


the version of rsync included in the system as been modified by Apple

if you want a fresh copy of rsync, use this configuration:

banana:~ banana$ ./configure --srcdir=. --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/ 
usr --bindir=/usr/bin --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc -- 
localstatedir=/var --libdir=/usr/lib --includedir=/usr/include -- 
mandir=/usr/man --build=powerpc-apple-darwin8 --host=powerpc-apple- 
darwin8 --target=powerpc-apple-darwin8


banana:~ banana$ make
banana:~ banana$ sudo make install

good luck

I'm trying to update my rsync on os x 10.4.5.

downloaded the latest rsync-2.6.7.tar.gz
as described in the configure --help I started ./configure and the  
output tells me that all works out fine.


then running rsync (in /usr/local/bin) in bash the output still  
tells me, it would be: rsync  version 2.6.0  protocol version 27



what am I doing wrong?




thanks

Incremental help

[Banana Flex]

hi all

i'm playing with rsync to make a good incremental backup on Mac OS X  
and FreeBSD
i use this with the --delete-excluded option to get a fresh copy with  
only modified files


but today i ave a new thing:
i would like to get a backup folder with all modified files on it,  
not the full backup, only modified files

i'll tried -b --backup-dir but isn't working

can any help me configure rsync to get this works?

thanks a lot

Banana
